LAST WEEK WE WROTE TWO paragraphs relating to Great Expectations: the first was on Mr. Jagger's office as a symbol, and the second was on what Pip learns through Mr. Wemmick's tour. We will continue reviewing this argumentative body paragraph structure, combining our discussions with writing exercises.

Monday

Revisiting Shakespeare's play Hamlet and its relationship to the self: how do we define who we are? What agency do we have in becoming that which we become? Writing a paragraph explaining Pip's view of himself: what is his place in the world (as Pip defines it)?
HW: Read chapter thirty-three and four in Great Expectations (GE), up to and including page 248.

Tuesday

While I am on a field trip for Habitat for Humanity, students will listen to chapters 35 and 36.
Hw: If you haven't finished the chapters in class, please make sure to have read that far by class on Thursday.

Wednesday

Writing two questions on the novel in our google sheet, and then returning to Victorian slums of 1880 which will focus on the sweated workers and the docks.
HW: Finish reading chapter 35 for homework tonight.

Thursday

A closer look at Victorian prisons, and specifically Newcastle Gaol in the 1870s. Besides reviewings some "mug-shots" of the time, we'll review some National Archive sources on the prison Pip tours with Mr. Wemmick. We will end class by returning to Victorian Slum House.
HW: Read chapter 36

Friday

Working on the third crossword for Great Expectations.
